I know i'm unsupported but I wanted to check here to see if anyone is experiencing or has experienced the same issue. I upgraded my Pro 6 to OS 6.9.1. The nas runs fine but once a week the system no longer responds to network requests. If I hold the power button to get the system to shutdown, it will enter into shutdown mode but will not complete the operation. If i then kill the power and turn it back on everything works again for another week. I have checked the logs and I can't find anything that would suggest there is a problem. There are just no entries during the time it is unavailable. Any thoughts?
So i got back from a business trip turned the unit on and then it worked for a day but now I am getting the boot to "ReadyNas" screen. It's strange that it auto boots when i flick the power switch on and doesn't need me to press the power button on the front. I tried holding the boot menu (reset) switch at the back but nothing happens. I tried every thing in previous posts like removing all the disks as well. There are a couple of posts mentioning something about a usb stick but all of those links are dead. Is there a usb method to try?
Try @StephenB's suggestion first. If it does boot w/o drives, we may have additional tests for further diagnostics.
But you may be having power supply problems where glitches were initially causing small problems and it has gotten worse to the point of not booting. For it to display "ReadyNAS", all it takes is +5V power.
I'm just getting the "RAIDar could not find any NETGEAR storage on your network". Both the cpu and main fan are on but the power supply fan has stopped so the power supply might be the culprit.
Hopefully @Sandshark will chime in. You might well need to modify the cable lengths and possibly adapt sata power to molex - but you won't need to change to change the pinout with a pro-6.
You can buy the Seasonic or another SFX form factor supply and a 24-pin 6 inch ATX extender, which is much better than a snip-snip of the cable. I generally also move the 3 90° 4-pin Molex connectors to the new supply and shorten those cables, as it makes for a cleaner fit with no chance of the fan hitting the wires. If you have an existing ATX supply hanging around, you can just use that externally to verify a new supply is the answer.
My power just failed at the 61-month mark of the 60-month warranty (power supply serial CR10A90120844). I tried to call Netgear to buy a replacement, but they appear to want money before they will begin a conversation. The original Seasonic SS-300SFD (300 watt) power supply is unavailable in North America and is deemed end-of-life by Seasonic. It's rated outputs are:
+3.3V, 20A
+5v, 20A
+12V1, 8A
+12V2, 14.5A
-12V, 0.8A
+5Vs, 2A
I understand that I could possibly use any (300 watt or greater) SFX-form factor power supply, but which of the amp values are critical? I currently run 4 hard drives, but want to be able to expant to 6 if needed. Different power supplies have varying amp - output levels. I know it does not matter if the power supply exceeds any of the above individual amp ratings, but what if, for example, the +3.3V is only 18A, while the +5V is 21A? Is the +3.3V amp rating of 20A critical for the ReadyNAS Pro? What about the amp ratings of the other voltages - which are critical for this system?

I haven't measured the currents on the lines, but I wouldn't expect the 3,3V to be the driving factor for the choice of a 300W supply for the ReadyNAS -- it's the 12V for hard drives. While SSD's use 5V for their prime power, I doubt they add enough demand for that to be that critical, either. The Siverstone SST45SF-V3 450W Supply looks to me to be a good alternative, though I've not tried one. It does have ony 2 4-pin MOLEX connectors, so you'll have to use a SATA to 4-pin adapter or move a connector from the old to the new to connect to all three connectors on the SATA backplane, but that's going to be the case with most current supplies. The Silverstone SST-ST30SF 300W would likely work as well, but the small price difference ($10 difference on Amazon) makes me lean toward the one with higher ratings.
am expericing the same issue as babeal with my Pro Pioneer. Upgrade to 6.9.0 first and happy with it. But from time to time the storage is not reacting anymore. this happens at different intervals. Shortest was 1 day, longest 2 weeks. Logs are not showing anything useful.
currently on 6.9.3 and still face the issue. Also noticed that after several months the volume is not recognized anymore and I need to reinstall the system. Happened twice till now. last time was 2 days ago.
Just did a new install 2 days ago. ongoing restore of data.
Would be great to know why the system is behaving like this and how to solve it. Will have to wait to the system hangs again to upload logs.

Replacement Power specsOptional cable (I did not use)Original Power fanReplacement Power fanWorks without cable extenderFinished installCable exit is differentI ended up replacing the original SeaSonic SS-300SFD power supply with a SeaSonic SS-300SFB. I did not end up using the cable extender that I purchased. The new fan is flush and does not protrude like the original did. I have been running a week and all of the intermittent problems (before the full failure) have so far gone away. There was slow network, slow web interface, failed scheduled backups, but they were intermittent, often a reboot would make them go away for a time - now I think they may have been caused not by bad firmware nor by bad settings, nor by bad network infrastructure, but by a failing power supply.
Does the fan on the SeaSonic SS-300SFB line up well enough with the rear panel? From pictures I've seen on the internet, it doesn't seem as centered as on the SS-300SFD. Maybe when your pictures are approved by a moderator and become visible, all will be revealed.
